What is Life?

What is life?

Life is unexpected

Life is a mystery

Life is too challenging for people

So tell me

What I need to do

They say

You are too shy

They say people will use you

If you stay like this

They don't know those comments hurt

That everything people say to me

I take to heart

They will never see me as I see myself

A quiet introvert that hates drama

A girl who just wants to be kind to everyone

A girl who battles her own inner demons

A girl who is sensitive and hates to talk

Because people would say she speaks too quietly or too loudly

A girl who is afraid to be herself

She asks herself

"When will I ever be enough"

"When will I prove people wrong"

She is the girl who sits in class

Quietly

Listening to everyone respectfully

Always kind and compassionate

She is the girl who tries to know people

From within

But she is also the girl

Who is

Scared to speak up

Because of her past

Scared to ask for help

Because she doesn't want to hold the class back

Scared to make new friends

Because it never lasts

All because people don't see her for her

They just judge from the outside

But never from the inside

But that's just how society is

They make you judge people

By how they look like

But society will never understand

That people are complex

People only choose to

Show you certain parts of themselves

Because they are scared to be themselves

But that is just how society is

They form you into a person

You don't realize it

till it's too late

To go back to

Once upon a time
